since i DID graduate, sort of
.:.:.:.
1. ANO'NG STUDENT NUMBER MO?
200220577
2. NAKAPASA KA BA OR WAITLISTED? ::
passed both intarmed and mbb.
3. PAANO MO NALAMAN ANG ENTRANCE EXAM RESULT? ::
i saw it in manila bulletin (99% of their yearly circulation comes from that single issue) i think. i was in japan when i first found about passing intarmed.
4. ANO ANG FIRST CHOICE MO NA COURSE? ::
molecular biology and biotechnology. i still had illusions of a career in genetic engineering.
5. SECOND CHOICE? ::
biology. some kind of pre-med.
6. ANO COURSE MO NA NATAPOS?
i've graduate from BS Basic Medical Sciences, some pittance of a course designed to give us intarkiddies what would pass for an undergraduate degree. of course, it's purely useless: it has no relevant possible career whatsoever.
7. NAG-SHIFT KA BA? ::
nope. the idea never occurred to me.
8. CHINITO/CHINITA KA BA? ::
nope. i HAVE been mistaken for one of south asian (specifically, pakistani) descent several times. which is kind of weird, since we DO have chinese blood in the family (unfortunately), and no ancestors from south asia...
9. NAKAPAG-DORM KA BA? ::
all four years. :) ah, the absolute freedom to do stupid and crazy things.
10. NAKA UNO KA BA? ::
i think so. the experience has been so vague i'm not sure if it's a dream or a reality...
the only consolation is that in medicine, NOBODY gets a grade of 1.0 at all. schadenfreude.
11. NAGKA-3? ::
once. i had to remove a 4.0, ended up with a 3...
12. LAGI KA BANG PUMAPASOK SA KLASE? ::
nope. and i'm pretty notorious for it.
13. MAY SCHOLARSHIP KA BA? ::
i am a proud "iskolar ng nanay". no other institution seems interested in shelling out cash for my education.
14. ILANG UNITS NA ANG NAIPASA MO? ::
nearly 90 units undergrad, and all the interminable hours of med school.
15. NANGARAP KA BA NA MAG-CUM LAUDE? ::
of course. who doesn't? it's the actualization that sets weirdos apart from the herd.
16. KELAN KA MAGTATAPOS? ::
31 may 2009, pending delinquent rotations, absentee hours...
17. FAVE PROF/S: ::
in medicine: dr. dans, dr. coralie dimacali, dr. tomacruz, and a few doctors whose lectures i truly appreciated, but whose names i can't remember.
18. WORST TEACHER ::
holy cow. in terms of RBCs in a urine sample: TNTC
19. FAVE SUBJECT/S: ::
nephrology (but it doesn't love me back)
cardiology (for the broken hearted)
physiology
20. WORST SUBJECT: ::
pulmonology
immunology
pathology
21. FAVE BUILDING/S: ::
sentro oftalmologico jose rizal---airconditioned rooms, baby!
OUR/old NEDA building---my home away from home.
22. PABORITONG KAINAN: ::
for lunch: gigs. cheap food. just have to watch out for the loads of oil they liberally dump into all their viands. one of the many places you can easily get LBM (low budget meals).
for dinner: don pepot's. you literally eat elbow to elbow with the great unwashed masses. best place to eat for under PhP40.
kantunan and emiljoy: for all your carcinogen and lipid quotas. :)
23. MAGKANO BA ANG BINABAYAD MO SA JEEP? ::
PhP 7.50. i don't avail of the student discount. i don't know why, i don't know how.
24. LAGI KA BA SA LIBRARY? ::
i can proudly say, i have never entered the CAS library in UPM. the library in the UPCM closes at 6; classes are from 8-5. obviously, one can't study there.
25. NAGPUNTA KA BA SA CLINIC NUN? ::
duh. med student. where else are we supposed to be?
26. MAY CRUSH KA BA SA CAMPUS? ::
i will not confirm, nor deny that report.
27. ANU-ANO ANG MGA NAGING PE MO? ::
my block had the crappiest PEs, simply because we left decision-making in the hands of the girls. we had some fitness crapola, social dancing, philippine games and kuntao silat. wuh.
28. KAMUSTA NAMAN ANG BLOCK NYO? ::
we don't care.
29. MEMORIZE MO BA ANG ALMA MATER SONG? ::
definitely.
30. MEMBER KA BA NG VARSITY TEAM? ::
nope. the debate circle has been wrangling for varsity status, but we can't, because of the people in diliman...
31. NAKA-PERFECT KA NA BA NG EXAM? ::
probably not. hehe.
32. DITO KA BA NATUTONG UMINOM NG BEER? ::
yeah. along with a host of other unhealthy practices.
